»Lorca: Lost Tapes (1989–1991)« brings to light a collection of recordings originally made for theatrical productions inspired by the life and work of the great Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca. The album offers an atmospheric and minimalist soundscape, blending flamenco influences with Andean and Afro-Peruvian elements, vocal experimentation, and various sound effects—all woven together through a simple yet imaginative studio montage that transforms these pieces into a dreamlike journey.

A former member of several rock bands in the 1970s, Flores began a deep exploration of sound experimentation toward the end of that decade, building a vast archive that remained largely unpublished. His experimental work gained international attention with the release of »Primitivo« (Buh Records, 2015), which unearthed previously unreleased 1983 recordings—originally performed live only—and marked a high point in Peru’s fascinating experimental music scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. That movement, driven by artists such as Arturo Ruiz del Pozo, Manongo Mujica, and Luis David Aguilar, brought together Andean and Amazonian sounds with the instrumentation and musical techniques of free improvisation, musique concrète, and cosmic music, resulting in a singular fusion of traditional and avant-garde expressions.

»Lorca: Lost Tapes (1989-1991)« is published for the first time, and in vinyl format, as part of the Essential Sounds collection, with which Buh Records presents a series of fundamental works of the Peruvian musical avant-garde.
